I spend a lot of time in Tucson,100 miles to the east in the border county named after the great Apache warrior Cochise and on the Sonoran coast (from the packed with gringo haven of Puerto Penasco to the quiet gated enclaves south like my Mexican home a 20 home gated community called Santo Tomas.)From my experience I have a few ideas for the people facing deportation.
Puerto Penasco First off if you have kids in school that are US citizens,a family situation where some can stay but some will have to go and you have money Puerto Penasco ( Rocky Point) is your best bet.Many people there have already come up against all the issues you will face and will help you.A condo or house off the beach can be bought for a reasonable price,a private school is available and liked by many.You can make a buck there in tourist related businesses.If you are more adventurous the communities down south in the agricultural zones like Santo Tomas provide the chance to grow grapes,olives,asparagus...you name it. The family could get a home in Ajo a small town 40 miles north of the border and do weekends with the deported family members in Puerto Penasco.
To the east Sasabe USA el Sasabe Mexico
on second thought wipe this one off your list unless you want to join the Beltan cartel
Nogales USA NOGALES MEX
Not a bad choice if you're low on cash and ready to work.The border is busy and it is a sea of people….you may like that...A good spot to set up a import export business.
BISBEE USA NACO MEXICO
Well Bisbee Is great classic little mining town with a great artist community.Lots of cheap housing as you go towards the border and Naco Mexico is a slow paced little town.A easy crossing for the kids to come up to go to school in the states.This would be my choice if I did not have 300k to get established at the beach ares.
DOUGLAS AZ. AGUA PRIETA MEX
Another good choice.Lots of industry in AP.Big Mennonite and Mormon farming areas to the south.The cross border traditional relationships are good.Douglas had lots of inexpensive housing.AP has great dentists and doctors.
Also If we could Get 10000 KOS Community people to move to Cochise County 100 plus miles of the border would be ours!!!!,Control of the courts,the Sherriff office,the schools…...what a lovely day that would be...
